rooftop chatters • marwa

summary: you heard taps at your bedroom window a creaking shreek blare when you opened it and to your surprise a crow was standing there with a letter on its beak. you ripped the envelope with curiosity and read what's inside, nandor is getting married!  you wonder how this would turn out.. and what you're more curious about.. who's the bride?

a/n: lets pretend she never died again and the marriage was cancelled! (also sorry if u think shes out of character TnT)

✰ ✰ ✰

Feeling the heat rush into your body, you took a deep breath then huffed. smoke dancing away with the wind, what a shitshow, you snickered.

the air on the roof was cleansing you from what you just saw downstairs. you've known this funky vampire bunch for a while, you know how they are, how they lived before turning, their stories and the nature of their instincts.

so you nearly choked your fake wine (*ehem ehem blood*) when you read a letter from your dear friends on staten island inviting you to come to Nandor and Marwa's wedding.

it's not like you don't have alot of faith on finding love for your dear friend, but he is clearly not the one for the long live one love type of relationship. History speaks for itself.

Your little smoking session was abruptly butt in by a sigh, not by the vampires you know, a new voice, by that you glanced at the source to find the poor girl.

"Oh, Marwa" you breathed out, the chilly midnight staten island air flowing through your hair, "are- are you alright?" For a being who has lived hunderds of years and have muscled in millions of different situations you are not the one to comfort someone.

marwa jumped at the sound of you and looked at you, a certain look of dismay on her face though not a single tear.

"i'm fine, can i join you" marwa asked, motioning to the spot beside you

"please" you motioned, as she got to her spot beside you she sat by hugging her knees and looked up.

you could see reflections of tiny bright stars painted on her irises, her hair flowing through the wind as the dress she wore previously still stuck on, you assume after the whole thing downstairs she immediately ran here. just like you did.

even though you dont know a single thing about her, you cant help but feel sorry. of course youre a vampire with intentions that sits far from pure but you know this woman didnt deserve the treatment and hell that nandor put her through.

"im sorry" was all that you can say to her

"..it's alright, none of that is your fault. im sorry you had to see that" marwa trailed off eyes never leaving the sky

you sat with silence again until she light up the conversation once more

"me and nandor were never meant to be happily ever after, ive always wanted marriage of my own but not with him, not again" she said head shaking as she look at you

th second her eyes finally met yours you could see the way she observed you from top to bottom, in one of your fine clothing. you look absolutely ravishing and you couldnt help to stare at the canceled bride herself.

"forget him," you chuckled "he doesnt deserve you" marwa chuckled at you and replied "i know that" making the two of you laugh

suddenly remembering the cancer stick by the tip of your fingers you snapped "oh! want some?"

marwa looked at you, then at the cigarette pack then shrugged "i dont smoke" making you raise your brows "but it is certainly a perfect time to" earning a giggle from you she took one and you helped her light hers up.

after some more comfortable silence and blowing smoke around you were the first to talk again "y'know the second i read of your invitation i almost choked on my drink," marwa giggled at that "i never thought nandor would give a chance at that again" you scoffed playfully "he's my friend and im not supposed to proudly state that judgement, but i didnt thought it was something that could occur to us"

by that you could feel marwa's curious gaze and so you continued "it didnt occur to me that us vampires could still find love, and i've gotta say i got envy" you shrugged then locked eyes with marwa.

"good that the wedding's canceled then" that made you furrow your eyebrows "i- i didnt mean that"

marwa then giggled at your expression and put a comforting hand by your shoulder then squeezed it "hey, don't worry i'm kidding! i don't love him that way either so it doesnt matter, none of this matter"

"why'd you marry him then?" you asked, marwa's gaze fell to her feet as she answered "i don't know, all of this is so...weird, first getting ressurected- then youre suddenly getting married of to your old lover?" she shrugged "i loved him at one point but now? it's a whole different story"

you nodded, understanding her feelings very well. you imagined it just like how you first got turned, the transition was a weird experience but getting used to it was the hardest part and love itself is a hard topic.

"i know how you feel" you answered and let the conversation die down, peace is what you felt when youre with marwa. usually peace left you with many other feelings, lonely peace, mournful peace, frenzied peace. but with marwa its a different one, a new one, it brings you a familiarity of something you havent felt in a long time.

you tossed your cig away as marwa flicked on hers and sighed "i dont know what i'll do after this, i can't possibly live with nandor and the others, believe me theyre lovely- but after today-" you interrupted "i know, i wouldnt stay either if i were you"

marwa sent you a smile and you felt something down into your stomach, you dont know why but it feels like a caterpillar crawled its way into you and ran a marathon circling your insides.

a pang of sadness hit your heart suddenly when you realize that this could be the last time you and marwa would see each other, you didnt want this to be over, you like her company, marwa's a nice person.

an idea swept through your mind and you felt giddy as you looked at her "w-what about my place?" you asked making marwa look at you surprise sketched her face yet a growing smile is what sealed you.

"youre okay with that? you'll take me in?"

"of course, i wouldnt let you stay here anyways in a million years"
